Somesh will be boycotting penguins until Iceland gives our money back. I'm also slightly perplexed at Gordon Brown's reversal in popularity. One week he wasn't fit to run the country; the next he's the saviour of the financial world. Here's hoping Labour can capitalise on this sorry state of affairs and claw their way back up the polls.
Not too happy with Angela Merkel right now. Was hoping that Germany would be a little bit more forthcoming. Another sign that the EU just isn't up to bringing together and servicing the differing political and economic inclinations of such a diverse set of countries. Not that we'd want Iceland in the EU in any case.
I recommend listening to This American Life's specials on the current financial crisis.
